Chapter 1553: Lu Qingers Breakthrough
Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e's cultivation session was much longer than any they had in the past. The bright side was that the benefits they had gained were also unprecedented. As they remained within the crystal mountains in the depths of the Celestial Mirror Pagoda, mighty energy waves radiated from them, causing energy storms to kick up in their surroundings.
The others remained seated with their eyes closed, doing their best to immerse themselves in this complete metamorphosis.
Time passed day after day.
Diwu Mingxuan, Sheng Qiao'er, and the rest had long finished their cultivation sessions. In the end, only Li Luo, Jiang Qing'e, and Lu Qing'er were left. A year after their seclusion had started, Lu Qing'er was finally done.
Two people were watching from the middle of the void with their hands behind their backs. One was Principal Wang Xuanjin whereas the other was a middle-aged man garbed in golden dragon robes. The latter's expression was firm and steady, and he gave off a weighty sense of majesty. In his hand was a jade pendant that had a golden dragon carved into it, flowing with esoteric light from time to time, giving off a terrifying aura.
"Mountain Lord Lu, Lu Qing'er's cultivation session is about to end." Wang Xuanjin smiled as he glanced at the three crystal mountains. Despite being the Principal of the Heavenly Origin Ancient College, Wang Xuanjin still treated the man next to him courteously.
His name was Lu Sui, and he was the Mountain Lord of Golden Dragon Mountain's Lu family. He was also a peak Dual Crowned King expert! His other identity was also Lu Qing'er's father.
"Qing'er was truly given a blessed opportunity by the Academic Federation. We of the Lu family will engrave this favor in our hearts," Lu Sui said with full sincerity as he respectfully clasped his fist towards Wang Xuanjin.
"Mountain Lord Lu, you are being far too polite. The Celestial Mirror Pagoda was infiltrated by the Origin Reversion Institute, and Heavenly Emperor Lu ended up having to lend a hand. Thus, the opportunity is well-deserved," Wang Xuanjin said with a smile.
Out of the numerous Heavenly Emperor powers, the Golden Dragon Bank only lost out to the Academic Federation and the Origin Reversion Institute. The latter two had the most strength and the deepest foundations, though the former had always stayed neutral. The Golden Dragon Bank possessed the greatest amount of wealth in the world and even had three Heavenly Emperors watching over it. In terms of strength, they far surpassed many of the Heavenly Emperor lineages in the divine continents as most only had a single Heavenly Emperor.
Lu Sui gave a slight smile. "The Academic Federation and the Origin Reversion Institute have been clashing both openly and covertly for the past year. This is one of the most important ongoing issues, and every power in every continent is paying attention."
